- The colonies had duties/tariffs to keep goods out from other colonies to protect them.
- Canada had a treaty known as the Reciprocity Treaty which meant free trade between Canada and the U.S.
- They used more external trade. 
- Britain repeated the Corn Laws and changed to more of a free trade system.
- This meant that Canada lost its price advantage over American producers
- Corn Laws are laws that governed the import and export of grains
